Most Helpful Customer Reviews

Stars of Track and Field have a bit of a unique back story. When their original bassist, Moxley Stratton, left the band, the remaining members opted to move forward without a replacement. Many critics gave Stars of Track and Field's first mainstream release, Centuries Before Love and War, positive reviews for this very reason. While I agree Stratton's departure forced the band in a new direction, replacing a bass guitar with bass synthesizer effects is not a crowning achievement in my eyes. However, that is not to say that Stars of Track and Field are not deserving of their critical acclaim.

A Time for Lions, Stars of Track and Field's second full length release with Wind-Up Records, is less electronic than their first album which seems to suggest they have found the sound they are most comfortable with. While no official bassist is listed as a member of the band, they have definitely brought the instrument back which does nothing but add to the grandiose of their arena ready singles. The album opens with "Racing Lights," a track that teases the listener with four seconds of electronic effects fading in before a powerful downbeat announcing the arrival of a more refined and established band destined for greatness.

The true test of the Indie Rock genre is often in the band's ability to succeed with both powerful rock anthems and heartfelt ballads on the same record. With "End of All Time," a song reminiscent of Augustana's "Sweet and Low," Stars of Track and Field have done just that by the end of track two. There are still, however, weak points on the album further along. Tracks like "The Stranger" and "Safety in Numbers" are lacking in instrumentation and feel drastically drawn out.Read more ›

This new album is quite different from their first two albums. I read a review that basicly said they have sold out. That has been the age old agrguement for bands that change over time. Some bands do "sell out" to sell albums, and many other great bands have made changes over the years. They have not sold out. In my opinion SOTAF is growing. While I would be fine if they didn't, I love the new changes. They aren't dramatic. This album is an instant classic, so if you liked them before you will love them now. Thank you SOTAF, my wife and I are enjoying this one, and looking forward to what you bring us in the future. (for the record I would have given this album five stars, but I think everything has room for improvement). Happy listening.

This is a band with so much potential. "End of all Time" and "In Bright Fire" are two of the best songs I've heard all year. These songs have the alternative pop power of Coldplay or Snow Patrol, but Stars of Track and Field still have their own original sound. A couple of the songs " Peeling Away" and "Through the Static" sound too much like Blue October for my taste, and maybe that's all right for you, but most of the album is right on. A Time for Lions also shows an evolving sound since the last album Centuries Before Love and War. Melodic indie sound, yet sometimes spacey-- alternative at its best in 2009.

Oh no! A band went on and changed! They didn't make the same exact album again! Whatever will we do?!

Except here they changed for the better. Like Coldplay with their latest album, sure you can say they went more mainstream--merely because the music is more accessible. This doesn't mean there's any less value to these songs, and in fact, I'd say there's more, because a true fan can appreciate these just as much as the last batch, but they're gonna gain a whole lot more fans from this, at that.
